Summer Means Creativity

When you are home for the summer and kinda bored, you might create a store. You might call it:

The We Have Everything Store

Which truly does, you know, sell everything.

you can buy anything you might desire - and there's even a cup for donations, should you be so inclined

Very Expensive "You Can Decorate Them Dolls" are available

And, sometimes, you might have to close the store - maybe because you are bored and have no customers. Even though you've badgered each and every member of your family to buy your stuff, and you guilt them into hunting for change with your sighs of sorrow while you remain devotedly at your post for hours a day. Sometimes there are even tears involved. Maybe even by the Mom.

Actual sign at the store

The Worker of the Week Award - Personalized, Even

And, if you are very lucky, you get awarded the worker of the year award.

My girl played store today too. First she individually bagged 25 bottles of nail polish, next forced her Dad & brother to buy them, then growled "Now give me that back" while snatching it out of their hands. Not sure where she gets this grouchiness :)

About Me

Carmen Staicer is a whirlwind of energy and execution, who never sleeps and drinks way too much coffee. She works from home as Social Media Programs Manager for SheKnows, and is the mom to six kids, most of whom play instruments, sing or dance and all of whom are much smarter than she will ever be. In other words, her house is never ever quiet or still. A concentration of asthma, food allergies, spectrum disorders and learning disabilities means that she spends an awful lot of time second guessing herself and Dr. Googling, as well as learning to cook everything the family might like to eat. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, boxing (she has her Black Belt in Muay Thai), sleeping, exploring coffee shops, photography, ballet class and cooking. She excels in being a smart mouth and has her major in sarcasm, with a dual minor in BS studies and avoiding laundry.
